Winning Junior High School Speech (Lessons of Hiroshima)

All-Japan English Junior High (middle School) Oratory Contest.

A girl that I coached who won the finals of
1) Kawagoe Speech Contest
2) Saitama Regional Speech Contest
3) Semi-finals All-Japan National Prince Takamado English Speech Contest in Tokyo.

The camera was right at the back of the auditorium so the audio was not good (and the competition rules did not allow microphones), which is why I had to subtitle it.

The fact is that there is no true morality in war. Every nation in the world has been inhumane at one point in time. There is not need or purpose in defending the immorality of a nation. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Furthermore, passiveness in the face of wrong only serve to the advantage of the wrongdoer. US has been wrong. Japan has been wrong. Every other nations has been wrong. US waged the same war as Japan by invading all of the land that it currently has for example.

There is one profound difference between Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima. Pearl Harbor was done out of want, lust for war. They wanted an empire. Just like Adolph Hitler wanted an empire. No lives were saved because of Pearl Harbor. Hiroshima was done to save lives, not only of American, Japanese, and possibly Soviet troops, but also the lives of Japanese civilians. Think of all of the civilians that would have been killed by bombing or perhaps being forced to fight against the Americans.

good speech. . .check out an amazing winning speech under "8th grade president speech mts"

[DemonofPlaid]

this is one of the few arguments in the world that cant be won. It was bad that we did kill millions of innocent people. But America would have lost millions if we didnt finish the war. what japan did was bad and what we did was bad. you cant say that what America did was worse. Although it probably was. It only seems that way becuase we gave the first big punch. Otherwise it could easily be the other way around.

Nuclear weapons killed many japanese people， but on the other hand, how could we stop the u japanese keep killing people from the other country? u said it is not right, why u did talk about what u done in Nanjing China? is that right? necessary? 3 million just one city, now u talking this inhuman thing to us, does not bring your people back, a fortiori other lifes from over the world

[matahfakah]

i agree with you, a lot of Asian people got killed because of the Japanese colonization, specially the Philippines and other countries nearby. i can still remember the story of my grandfather talking about how Japanese were so cruel and abusive.

----- they also killed his father.

i think japan should also think about the lives of the people they destroyed before.

but I'm not saying that i am happy about the Hiroshima tragedy.

that's all..
